“Kailie was awesome! The dogs treated her as their own. She paid attention to all the details we had for her and kept us posted with the updates and pictures while we were gone. We'll have her always”
“Kate was a wonderful dog and house sitter! Our two dogs were better off then when we left as Kate did some training with them. They took lots of walks and seemed very happy and healthy. The house was great as well.”
“We are so thrilled to have Evelyn sit with Smily while we were away. Evelyn ensured that we were well informed of the goings on with our dog and home, and even went above and beyond (the house was cleaner than we left it, I'm sure. We could tell that Smily was happy and loved! We highly recommend, and look forward to booking again.”
“David was wonderful with our anxious dog while we were away at a wedding. So good in fact that she appeared to lose her anxiety issues all together. He is clearly very experienced with animals and they are very receptive to him. He knew exactly how to work with her to lower her anxiety levels throughout a long stay. We are so grateful to have found someone like him for our dog!”
“She is the best with our pups! They adore and she takes really good care of them. Is very careful and attentive with our one dogs allergies, making sure he doesn’t eat his sisters food, which we are so greatful for!”
“Liz is an excellent dog sitter. During that time, she kept the house neat and tidy and stayed in communication with us on a regular basis, eliminating the stress of leaving Coco and the house behind. Above all, Liz is trustworthy, and our dog looked like she was having a great time with her every time we got an update. We would be happy to use her again in the future.”
“Nicole was just excellent with our dog Josie. She handled Josie’s anxiety so well and did so much to make sure Josie had a good time! She kept us updated frequently, and asked all the right questions. We would not hesitate to book Nicole again!”
“Julia was an attentive and responsive house/dog sitter for our pup Maya! This is big for us- we've only had a family friend stay overnight with our pup, so the thought of having someone different watch Maya (and our house) was a bit stressful. Julia did such an awesome job with Maya that we feel at ease having her come again. We can't wait to have another visit from Julia!”
About: I have two golden doodles who mean the world to me, but aside from my own pets i have made sure to surround myself with animals my whole life so far (I'm 27 currently) i grew up helping out friends and neighboors with animal care. to me pets are not just pets they are family. I love being outdoors going for walks myself so I take a great deal of pride being able to help someone with the joy in their life and incorporating it into what I already love to do. I currently work full time monday-Thursday with friday, saturday,and sunday off. I will be available any of those three days off for any service someone is requesting, and I am open to commuting aswell. I have two golden doodles who I treat them same as my closest and dearest friends/family. It would be no different with anyone else. One of my biggest beliefs is that respect and kindness speaks for itself and goes a long way so im very geared towards the needs, wants, requirements ect... that a client has or is requesting.
“Matthew did such an amazing job with our boys! We have two senior pups, one being special needs, and he took such great care of them and was so familiar with our one’s needs and medication. He is incredibly friendly, trustworthy, and respectful. We’ve were given updates throughout the day, and they all brought smiles to my husband and I’s faces. We also needed care beginning in the very early morning, and he was still perfectly on time and ready to go. We will absolutely be booking with him again in the future - highly, highly recommend! 😊”
“This was the 1st time I left my dog with anyone overnight so I was very nervous. It helped a lot that Bambi stopped by to meet all about 10days before staying over. She took my lists of instructions and adhered to all. She was very understanding about my dog’s anxiety.”
“Honestly the best experience!!! Laura was SO amazing. She took great care of my pup (who’s basically my baby) and sent plenty of updates while I was away. I was a little nervous to have someone new watch my pup but it was totally worth it because now I have my new go to! THANKS SO MUCH LAURA, YOU’RE THE BEST!!!”
“This is the first time we’ve gone away since rescuing our two dogs. Mark was great with the boys and he took wonderful care of them. We will absolutely use Mark again and this means we trust him implicitly.”
“Brittney was a wonderful sitter for our fur baby, she took great care of her! She sent pictures and updates, left the house spotless - we were so pleased and wouldn’t hesitate to book her again!”
About: Hello folks, I am an experienced animal caretaker with a background in fostering pets. I have cared for dogs, cats, other domestic pets, and farm animals. My clients, friends and family have entrusted me to watch their animals since I was 12. I believe that direct communication with pet owners will allow me to provide a safe and engaging experience for your animals. I work part-time from 10 am - 2 pm throughout the week. My work days change frequently but I am available outside of these hours for your caretaking needs. I will not be providing services in my home at this time. For pet sitting and walking services, I am available to stay in your home or do daily check ins. My goal is to be an accessible source for your animal while you travel or are at work. I will be available 24/7 via email or text after you book my services. Please provide me with any medical, dietary, or enrichment needs for your animal when you book my services. I always adhere to my clients wishes and will do my best to stick with your pet’s daily routine while in my care. If you have a dog who is friendly, I can provide additional enrichment with my three year old pup Zeus.
About: For five years I have been pet sitting for coworkers, family, and friends. I have cared for small to large dogs, some lazy and many very high energy! I love being able to play with the pets to get their energy out and give them a good petting afterwards. Generally, I am available both ends of the day and most weekends. My full time job is flexible for the most part and can create my schedule to accommodate different gigs. I primarily have experience with overnight pet sitting at the client’s house. I am comfortable with both rural and more city environments. Privacy is important for me, so I will always respect the client’s privacy of their home. If uncomfortable with overnight stays, I will gladly travel to the client’s house in the morning and evenings to care for their pets.
About: I love all animals, I do have experience with medication administration, or reactive types of dogs. I am experienced in senior care or helping in training puppies while I care for your pets I currently work per-diem, and attend school full time. I have weekends free and evenings and always free to pop in most times especially overnights. My pup sleeps with me, he is spoiled like my own child. All my animals are well cared for and happy. I am comfortable stopping in for checkups or walks or even overnight stays
